SPECIFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 277,752, dated May 15, 1883.

Applicationfiled Ju1y1,1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, ED. B. LEWIS, a citizen of the-United States, anda resident of Kirbys Creek, in the county ot' Jackson and State of Alabama, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Ghurns; and I do hereby deelare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference heilig had to the annexed drawings, making a part ot' this specitication, and to the letters and figures ot reference marked thereon.

Figure l of' the drawings is an end elevation.v Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the linea; w. -Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line y y.

This invention has relation to devices for operating rotary churn-flashers; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of the roller on the head of the dasher-shat't, the

cross-bearing therefor between the standards which support the driving-pulley on the churncover, the horizontal roller under the drivingpulley and alongside the vertical shaft-roller, and the belt engaging the horizontal and vertical rollers and the drive-pulley, all as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the churn-cover, and B the dasherstem passing through a central perforation therein.

C U indicate standards secured tothe cover A on each side oi' the head t 0f the flashershaft, and connected above by a crossbar, (l, and below by a cross-bar, c, which 'also forms a bearing for the. pivot g at the upper end of the head of the dasher-shaft. This head consists ot' a roller or pulley, H, having a vertical axis, and being secured to the stem B by tbe pin c.

Horizontally opposite the upper part of the vertical roller H is located a horizontal roller, N, whereof the pivotal ends are seated in bearings min arms P, which extend from the standards C. Above Vthese rollers, atright angles to the axis of the horizontal roller and parallel to the axis of the vertical roller, is the driving-pulley S, the shaft ot' which is journaled in bearings in the standards U. This drivingpulley is laterally arranged, being over one end ot' the horizontal roller andnearer to one of the standards C than to the other, as shown in the drawings. Between the driving-pulley and the vertical roller H is the lower crossbar, c, which forms a guide for the endless belt z, which passes around the vertical roller and under the guide-bar e to the driving-pulley, around the latter, and down to the horizontal roller, engaging the same, and thence passing to the vertical roller. A crank-handle, V, is attached to the shaft w of the driving-pulley, sothat the latter can be easily turned. Its operation will communicate aA rapid and easy motion to the dasher-stein.

A drill-stock has been rotated by means ot' a cord passed around a wheel upon the drillstock, and also passing around pulleys in the frame in which the drill-stock is supported. An endless belt and pulleys are therefore not broadly claimed herein.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

The churn-motor consisting of' the lateral driving-pulley S, journaled to standards C on the churn-cover, the guide-bar e, connecting the lower parts ot' said standards, the "ertical roller H on the head ofthe dasher-stem B, the

horizontal roller N under the driving-pulley and alongside the vertical roller, andthe eudless belt z, engaging the rollers and drivingpulley, substantially as specitied.

In testimony7 that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my naine in the presence ot' two Witnesses. 1
